Its not a good time to get funding.

There are many cheap investment alternatives in the market right now

(for example blue chip stocks, wich are rated very low)

So there are many mature companies with a stable background
who have a low stockprice. So many good investment alternatives
compared to investing into a startup.

Also when you get funding, you are in a worse position, as the investor can claim more stake in the venture.
